I actully do not know how do you want this equation to be. So I will do it in quadratic function, if it turns out to be that you had to do it in a completing the square e-mail me back.
Simplify the equation we get: x%5E2%2B8x-32=0
a=1,b=8,c=-32
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
x+=+%28-%288%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%288%29%5E2-4%2A%281%29%2A%28-32%29+%29%29%2F%282%2A%281%29%29+
x+=+%28-8+%2B-+sqrt%28+64%2B128+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29+
x+=+%28-8+%2B-+sqrt%28+192+%29%29%2F%282%29+
x+=+-4+%2B-+sqrt%28+192+%29
